The Clachan Grill came highly recommended. Dinner is by reservation only. We decided to check it out on a Sunday night, which they have a special Sunday Menu. The restaurant is very pretty, nicely decorated, bright and airy. Our server greeted us at the door (and he was wearing a kilt, a touch). He wuickly brought us water and took our drink order. My wife had sparkling water and I ordered an Ola Dubh beer. This was the first time I had tried this beer, but hopefully it won't be my last. It was brewed with whisky, vanilla, spices, and aged in sherry casks. While I don't generally like darker beers or beers with higher alcohol content (this one was 8%), this one was delicious. Apparently Sunday night is "roast night" so Stacy ordered the roast beef, which was accompanied by carrots, broccoli, and what she called fabulous roasted potatoes. Stacy was a little disappointed in the roast beef, primarily because she is used to a thicker cut of prime rib served rare while this was a thinner cut and served more medium/well. It was still tasty, but it just wasn't what she was expecting. I had the cajun chicken sandwich, accompanied by fries. The sandwich had a large chicken breast, covered with aged cheddar, jalapenos, and a cajun sauce (as well as lettuce and tomato). It was delicious. We couldn't agree on a dessert to share, so Stacy had the sticky toffee pudding served with vanilla ice cream and I had the brownie sundae. Both desserts were fabulous. Unfortunately we forgot to yake pictures of dessert, so we'll have to go back. Visited on a sunny summer Sunday. It was quite quiet. We sat outside under the big umbrella. Ordered the Sunday roast (requested extra skirlie and all the greens to be removed) it was very nice. Partner ordered the cod, said it was but that the brocoli was too al dente for her taste. Desserts were too. It lost a star for the service charge being added automatically to the bill which I don't like. The young waitress was pretty miserable, no smile or hello, thank you etc. The other waiters, I assume the owners, were very nice. Would eat here again if in the area. Looking for a restaurant with excellent reviews in Ballater. First option was Fish Shop, but unfortunately it was closed out that evening..second in the list was Clachan Grill. Luckily, they were open, so I booked a table for 5 using Opentable app. My experience was excellent with the food and the service. I have chosen a 2 course menu with a Cullen skink and sirloin steak with red wine sauce ( extra price for this option). What impressed me more was the plating, taste and fresh ingredients. Sirloin steak was perfectly cooked as medium well. The rest of my family enjoyed their food. Highly recommended if you are looking for a grill food option in Ballater Fabulous customer service and food was luscious. Best fillet steak! Welcomed warmly too. Celebrating our Ruby anniversary ❤️ Managed to sit outside for an aperitif of bubbles. Salmon starter was beautifully presented and tasted perfect. No room for desert, just a liquer. Thanks for your hospitality, such a superb place. Very good food and people working there. They squeezed us in without a reservation which was very of them. We were visiting from USA and would highly recommend, but get a reservation, it's well worth it. The lamb was great! Gorgeous wee restaurant - cosy and comfortable with delicious fare. Friendly service too. Definitely be back! Exceptional food! Some of the best chips (French Fries) I've ever had! The Haggis Bon Bons were outstanding! Pea & mint risotto was excellent! Fantastic restaurant! Delicious food, friendly, welcoming and attentive staff. We had smoked salmon and white wine pear. For mains we had file and cod. And iced raspberry parfait to follow. FABULOUS! Old fashioned was phenomenal.
